Live Updates from Israel: Iran Says Will Not Remain ‘Passive’ as Trump Expected to Leave Nuclear Deal – Kremlin cautions any U.S. withdrawal from Iran deal may have ‘negative consequences’

U.S. President Donald Trump will announce his decision regarding Iran nuclear deal on Tuesday. European diplomats have recently told The New York Times they predict Trump will leave the accord. Trump’s decision is set for 2:00 P.M. EST, 9:00 P.M. Israel time.

European powers have been working diligently over the last several months in an attempt to convince Trump to remain in the nuclear deal Tehran signed with world powers in 2015.

Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed a cache of documents he says proves Iran lied to the world about its nuclear program for years. “The nuclear deal is based on lies based on Iranian deception,” he said.
